eventually, they get used to everything.
my family now knows how to walk in a little semi-circle around the cat to avoid stepping on her...it took them a year.
the same way as they pick their way carefully around unsaid things.
eventually it grows on you, you stop noticing the empty chair, conversation returns to the dinner-table, happiness seeps in through the cracks.
and suddenly there's a way to start over. but there are some things that never go away.
even if you do get used to the new, the old seems to linger.

I don't know what or who you're grieving, but I'm glad you can see a way past, even though you may be unable to walk that path just now. And, cliche as it sounds, we're here for you.
*hug*
There's always a way to start over.
But then, the old memories return to you in unexpected flashes, startling you.
But life goes on. As I've learnt.
*hug*
Try to let go off the bad memories,and you know, good things happen to good people,again cliched as it may sound.And whatever little I know of you, I know it for a fact that you are a wonderful person.*cheesecakes*.
Everything passes, even the best of people must move on.
And life goes on too.
We're all here for you.
*hug*
perhaps it's because of those not-so-pleasant things that refuse to go away, that you're being able to appreciate the happiness that "seeps in through the cracks" :)
@everyone,
thankyou :)
